A couple of weeks ago I published a post titled "Tests Show PageRank Sculpting with Nofollow Still Works" where I argued that a test that I had run showed that nofollow was a legitimate means for sculpting PageRank. When I originally wrote and posted the blog entry, I full-heart...

In this post, my goal is to walk you through the process we used, the feedback we received and the final results and decisions. Fundraising is a demanding, lengthy, emotionally charged process and something that challenged me personally more so than any other single part of my life in the last 5 years. I hope that by sharing my experience I can help others who start down this road and give you an idea of what to expect. The more knowledge you have, the less fear can hold you up; that’s what this post is here to accomplish.

What a year! From traveling to software development, saying goodbye to old friends and growing the team with new ones, we've had a tremendously exciting 12 months at SEOmoz. To celebrate, next week, on Wednesday, January 6th 2010, we'll be hosting an informal meetup at the Elysian Brewery on Capitol Hill in Seattle, WA. Everyone from...

As SEOmoz has matured as a company, our SEO team has shifted away from treating SEO purely as an art and more toward treating it as a science. There is certainly the necessity for both perspectives but I beleive we are now much more centered.
As a result of this shift, we have been running more tests and analyzing more data. Before I get into the topic of our latest test resul...

Earlier this month, Google launched personalized results by default for all users. SEOs should have already read Danny Sullivan's analysis of the shift (which is quite excellent) and I also suggest checking out ...

This week I've been personally invested in Gwen Bell's The Best of 2009 Blog Challenge aka #best09. It's only been a few days but I've enjoyed reading through some of the blog...

As we rapidly approach the end of 2009 and opening of 2010, we've got a much anticipated index update ready to roll out gang. Say it with me "twenty-ten". Oh yeah, I'm so gonna get a flying car and a cyberpunk android :) ...Ahem. I thought this would be a...

Thanks so much for all your votes and feedback on our PRO Webinar Series over the holiday weekend. We received 285 responses and we're taking your suggestions very seriously and conducting the webinar as you've requested :-)
Here are the stats from the questionairre/fo...

Over the past 2 years, SEOmoz has worked with quite a number of websites whose primary goal (or primary problem) in SEO has been indexation - getting more of their pages included in Google's index so they have the opportunity to rank well. These are, obviously, long tail focused sites that earn the vast majority of their visits from queries that bring in 5 or fewer searches each day. In this po...

First off, I hope everyone among our US (and expat) readers had a great holiday weekend, filled with tryptophan and football (I know mine was). Second, I'm very excited to announce that SEOmoz PRO is launching our first ever webinar on Thursday Dec. 10th at 11am Pacific (2pm Eastern, 7pm Lond...

He wakes up at 7:31 AM just like the day before. With ignorance as his shield, he ventures out into a world without privacy.
The young man (a title given to him by his mother) sits submissively in his bed and idly scans e-mail on his phone. Another notice from his bank, a forwarded e-mail from his friend, 5 new e-mails from his co-workers, and an intimate message from a girl he met ...

To identify the most linked to pages on the world's most popular websites, we used SEOmoz's Linkscape powered top pages tool to compile a list of 105 of the most linked to pages on 17 of the Internet's most popular sites.
The results are both surprising and amusing, but from Google to GaGa the most linked to pages on the internet provide an interesting look at your favorite domains that will make you scratch your head as much as it will make you laugh.

I'm in the middle of a wild 6-week stint. First Oslo for a week, then home for 4 days, then SMX East and a week in New York City. Tonight, I'm back in Seattle, but only for a few days - our SEOmoz/Distilled London semi...

I’m sure many of you are like me and one of the first things you do in the morning is head to SEOmoz and check out the blogs. Along with seeing the new posts, I'm also always checking out my MozPoints and watching them grow, or shrink sometimes. In one of my past ...
